I recently had a website that we proving quite problematic, it got to the point where I couldn’t even access the Drupal maintenance page without getting memory errors (I suspect the result of a well and truly oversold shared server). It became necessary that when migrating it to a new server, to ensure there were [...]
This is as much for my reference for each time I setup a Drupal site as it is for anyone wondering how to setup a cron job to automatically run cron on a Drupal site through cPanel. Log into cPanel Click “Cron Jobs” In the “Add new cron job” section, select “Once an hour” from [...]
If you want to quickly and easily add a Facebook Like button and Open Graph meta tags to a Drupal website as I recently setup to trial, there are two modules that allow you to do this, OpenGraph_Meta and Facebook Like Button. These two modules certainly don’t offer the advanced functionality of the heavyweight Drupal [...]
The U-Scrap website is now online, though it doesn’t actually do anything yet. Functions and aesthetics are in the works and will gradually become available.

I’ve been asked by a few people how I did the latest news block at the bottom of every page on the TerraMedia website. It’s actually really simple when you get down to it, so here you go, all you need to know to do your own latest posts block, it could be used for [...]
Over at TerraMedia I’ve been quite busy over the past few weeks working on not only a new design for TerraMedia, but a completely new website! It is now using Drupal instead of Joomla and the theme is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict along with being completely cross browser compatible. Developing it for Firefox, Safari, Opera [...]
I was doing some research on podcasts yesterday for a website I am working on at the moment. The site is using Drupal, so there is a podcast module already available, I was just doing some research on how other people are laying out their podcasts, doing their designs and so on. While doing this, [...]
